It's best to just throw away the box and bring it over.

all photographic equipment are untaxable.
there is a thin line between photography and computer equipment there... computers' stuffs are taxable |

QUOTE(aichiban @ Jul 31 2007, 12:02 PM) yes driving in. dont think im gonna get a drybox there liau. less mafan. most probably from J-One or YL. Dry box won't be taxed. I think the price in SG is very cheap. u may check the price at www.digihub.com.sg. If i'm not mistaken 30L cabinet only SGD99. They always have mid-year promotion. http://www.digihub.com.sg/Uploads/pdf/207a...48535500520.pdfbut will still got there for those small items |

Don't worry too much.
Recently a JB fella just bought off my old E-330 with its kit lens and small bag. Sayang that he threw away the box but otherwise he had no hassles. You could also try to carefully unfold and flatten the box and put into your bag? JB customs will very likely stop you if the see you carrying anything in seemingly new packaging or flashy shopping bag. |
